Tonight was the Frank and Tank show on the beginning of the month Random Draw Doubles. They had a bogey free round, shooting 11 down. Speaking of bogeys, there were only 3 of them all night, on 7 teams. The weather was great, with a slight wind coming out of the north...though Swope being Swope, the wind seemingly changed directions 3 times from the time the disc left the tee pad, flew over the valley, and was gliding towards the baskets. We played all long pads, mandos enforced, but no O.B. (good thing to for my partner and I on hole 10). With 14 out and all getting into the Ace Fund, we have increased to $128. Now, for the scores:

Next week, we will be teeing off at 5:30 again. I am going to post a survey on this forum with a couple of ideas I have been toying with to see if anyone is interested in them. I will let you know the layout for next week's league by Friday of this week.

Just a reminder, Swope League will be a One-Disc round. Keep your bags in your cars, and only bring one disc and a mini. Of course, you might need something to hold your beverages!!! We start at 5:30pm.

Van, I'm gonna bust a** to get there by 5:30. I really want to play this one disc format. I work at 435 and Metcalf and don't get off work till 5:00. Please have someone call me at 5:20 to find out where I'm at if I'm not there already. I'll try and sneak out a little early but can't make any promises. My number is 816-217-3301.

We did not get the people out to match the response for the voting for which format to play tonight. I believe of the 19 votes, 11 voted for the One Disc format. We had 4 show up. Thanks to those who did. I had never played a one disc round, and it was really fun. It really makes you have to think through your shots better, and allows you to get to know that particular disc better. Overall, I think I am a better player for it. I will tell you this, putting with a driver is much different than a normal putter. We saw quite a few discs skip off the top of the basket and fall out. With all 4 of us getting into the Ace Fund, it now increases to $132.

Well, next week, the plan is to go back to regular league format. I know it is getting late in the season, but I would love to get a lot of people out and play. There are only 3 more Swope league nights left for 2011. We start at 5:00pm next week. See ya then.

I am sorry that I have not had a chance to get scores up from this past Monday's league...I have been sick and then yesterday, we had a break-in at my house, so it is has been a busy couple of days for me. I will get scores posted soon, as I now have no internet access at home, and can only do it at work (and I dont have the league score sheet with me).

I can tell you there was a 2-way tie for 1st place between Ash L. and Frank W.

Next Monday will be the final Monday night Swope Summer League for 2011. We will be playing random draw doubles, beginning at 5pm. We will be playing from all the short tee pads...so hoping to have a few ace runs. Come on out and play!
